Fred van LeeuwenTrainer at Informa Connect AcademyTrainer
Profile
Fred is an international authority in the IT sector.
During his 45 years in the profession, he has worked as a pioneer in every conceivable IT discipline, including IT strategy formulation and leadership, programme management, process improvement, application development, technical infrastructure design and service management. He combines his knowledge of the content matter with excellent skills in organisational change management and extensive experience in multicultural management.
His entire career is dedicated to leading innovation by digitisation. He has written thought-provoking publications on the subject and has lectured on nearly all continents, sharing his experiences with IT directors, CIOs, CFOs, COOs and other senior managers.
His focus is on the way IT leaders can help their company create more value out of IT. Recently, he contributed to an academic programme for developing agile and innovative IT governance, as well as the IT governance principles embodied in COBIT 5.
In Fred’s private life, he has pushed boundaries to the extreme: he rounded the Atlantic Ocean with his son, sailing nine months on his 10-metre yacht. From this, he gained a lot of valuable takeaways in the form of leadership lessons; some of which he will share with you during this course.
